Set to open in Summer 2025, the King Charles III England Coast Path is a brand-new scenic National Trail which will run along the entire coast of England.
The coastal path, funded by Natural England, joins the 15 other National Trails in England and when completed, will be 2,700 miles long, making it the UK’s longest National Trail.
When the King Charles III England Coast Path is completely open, the East Riding section will start in the centre of the Humber Bridge, run along Hessle Foreshore alongside the Yorkshire Wolds Way and Trans Pennine Trail then through Hull’s docks, and out through Hedon to Paull.
The trail will then follow the banks of the Humber until Kilnsea where it will turn northwards and follow the Holderness coast through Withernsea, Hornsea, and Bridlington before rounding Flamborough Head and crossing the North Yorkshire border to Filey. The Bridlington to Filey Brigg section opened in 2023.
The King Charles III England Coast Path continues from there, travelling alongside the Cleveland Way though Middlesborough and onwards where there is now an uninterrupted walked route to the Scottish borders.
Councillor Barbara Jefferson, cabinet member for heritage and coastal at East Riding of Yorkshire Council said:
“The King Charles III England Coast Path will bring a fresh and positive visitor experience to the East Riding as a new destination, providing the opportunity for active days out and the exploration of our unique East Riding coastline.
‘’It is also a great way to explore our many wonderful towns and villages which the trail runs along.’’
The trail will be open all year round, enabling visitors to make the most of the remarkable scenery throughout the seasons. It has been designed to be easy to use, with few barriers such as stiles and way-marks with National Trail acorns to guide the way.
In places the land may be rugged but in others it follows paved promenades, country lanes, roads or paved tracks which may be suitable for people with reduced mobility, wheelchairs and mobility vehicles. It will be well-maintained with clear signage.
